In other words, taking big-ag\u2019s pieces off the game board, and replacing them with organic agriculture\u2019s pieces.And as the organic food movement grows, it becomes easier in many places for individuals and groups of people to enter into the market \u2013 further eroding big-ag\u2019s position on the board.Big-ag has attempted to strike back through policymakers it controls, its army of lobbyists, and influence over the media to attack, undermine, and even outlaw aspects of the organic industry to reassert itself. However, it is in vain. Those entering into the organic industry outnumber those invested in big-ag a million to one \u2013 and are entering into organic agriculture out of passion and self-preservation, not profits alone.A similar tale has unfolded due to information technology empowering individuals with the ability to compete with establishment media monopolies. The alternative media \u00a0has slowly replaced the game pieces of big-media monopolies, wiping out some entirely, and pushing others into corners where they now desperately fight to retain credibility, profitability, and audiences.<\/div>\n<h3>Taking on the Rest of the Deep State<\/h3>\n<p>In order to replicate this success across all other industries and aspects of modern human civilization the deep state currently dominates, the same sort of incremental building-up of our own institutions, businesses, networks, and paradigms is required.<\/p>\n<table class=\"tr-caption-container\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-xGRIrcLblvk\/WJmXEZjfe8I\/AAAAAAAAPRA\/cJBb_jni1OgWfQDC16ZG2KBG1sVe1EP_ACLcB\/s1600\/GameBoard.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-xGRIrcLblvk\/WJmXEZjfe8I\/AAAAAAAAPRA\/cJBb_jni1OgWfQDC16ZG2KBG1sVe1EP_ACLcB\/s640\/GameBoard.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"551\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\"><i><b>Image:<\/b> The Game Board of global geopolitical, socioeconomic power.\u00a0<\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>As technology advances, it will empower people on a much more local level to directly compete with the biggest and most powerful monopolies on Earth.
